Chapter 4 The Ladder Gambling Contract
Just when Wu Xing landed about two or three feet away from the position just now, Wu Xing was lying on the boulder tablet with his hands and feet, looking really embarrassed. Immediately afterwards, Wu Xing tried to crawl some distance towards the center of the giant stone tablet, and then stood up tremblingly.
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Wu Qu Xingjun's mouth, and he stretched out his right hand to Wu Xing, and his fist was flat.
Just when the trial students were guessing what this action meant, Wu Xing stretched out his right fist and stood up, then raised a big finger, squeezed out a wry smile, and shouted, "It's okay!"
"Well done, wolf, remember to share your experience with your wolf pack!" After speaking, Wuqu Xingjun raised his thumb and gestured, and then put down his left and right hands, signaling that Qin Lan could continue.
In addition to enjoying rights, the head wolf has to take responsibility, such as opening a path in the half-human-high snow, for example, when the wolves are in trouble, it must stand up and use its sharpest claws to knock down the enemy!
Qin Lan also did not hesitate, took a step forward, jumped towards the giant stone tablet, and deliberately opened her hands and feet in the air, dancing to make subtle adjustments to her body, so as to control her landing point on the giant stone tablet.
Sure enough, after Qin Lan jumped on the boulder stele, although she was also a little embarrassed and lay there with her hands and feet, the boulder stele just shook back and forth a few times like a rocker before stabilizing.
"This ladder feels a bit like a tumbler, the more you stand in a position that is off the center, and the more you exert a little force, the greater the shaking amplitude. And when someone else jumps up the ladder, it becomes a matter of mastering the center of gravity of two people. The more people jump up, the ....... center of gravity" Wu Xing smiled bitterly, and said: "Although the star power can assist us in sticking to the ladder, but the feeling of spinning the sky, I believe you will soon be able to understand it." ”
At the same time as Wu Xing spoke, Wuqu Xingjun also stretched out the big finger of his right hand to Qin Lan, who fell on the giant stone tablet, and his fist was flat. Qin Lan raised her head and glanced at it, and naturally understood the meaning of Wuqu Xingjun's action, so she replied with a big finger according to the gourd painting, and then responded to Wu Xing with a nasal voice by the way, and finally had a formal interaction with Wu Xing.
With Wu Xing and Qin Lan taking the lead, the rest of the trial students more or less guessed the trick of stepping on the ladder from the rooftop. The young man who was ranked third also jumped on the giant stone monument after Wuqu Xingjun put down the arm that was blocking in front of him. The giant stone tablet doesn't seem to be as naughty as before, and the rocker generally shakes slightly from front to back, left and right, and then stabilizes.
When the fourth trial student landed safely within the range indicated by Wu Xing's finger circle, Wuqu Xingjun smiled slightly and nodded, but he no longer deliberately stretched out his hand to stop the next trial student, but only controlled the departure time of the trial student who stepped on the ladder from the heavenly platform through a simple password.
Naturally, the pace of the rest was much faster. By the time nearly twenty trial students had fallen on that huge stone stele, the huge stone stele had completely floated from below the Eagle's Beak Cliff. The rest of the megaliths are still floating over one after another, and the formation is obviously dense, and sometimes there are even seven or eight huge steles floating on top of the same megalith, and they are floating on top of each other at a distance of near or far, looking like the stone steps on the steep path of climbing! This may be the origin of the name of the ladder.
"You leave a few novices with you, and the rest want to follow the deputy examiner to see the ladder above, so let's go together!" Wuqu Xingjun commanded the trial students who stepped on the ladder, and the Wenqu Xingjun poked his left hand and made a few strokes in front of him, and his left hand finger pressed in front of him like a hand mold, and then jumped directly onto a huge stone tablet above the eagle's beak cliff, and then looked at the trial students on the ladder condescendingly.
Wu Xing and Qin Lan glanced at each other, but the latter still didn't speak, and directly turned around and jumped behind a huge stone tablet next to him, and after jumping a few steps of ladder like this, he stood beside Wenqu Xingjun. After a brief discussion, the other trial students divided more than half of them and moved to a few nearby boulder tablets, ready to welcome those who came after. This naturally includes Wu Xing.
At this time, there were more huge stone tablets that were about to float over the Eagle's Beak Cliff, and the remaining trial students in Longxi County had more places to choose from, and the efficiency of stepping on the ladder naturally increased several times.
It's a pity that in the end, the five trial students still couldn't make up their minds and jumped into the sea of clouds, so they took the initiative to give up. It's also a personal choice, and there's nothing wrong with that. So far, thirty-two students have been eliminated from the trial!
After adapting to the peculiarities of the ladder, everyone usually walks with their heads and feet, and it is rare to have the opportunity to see everyone in the air as if they are in the water.
However, this joyous atmosphere did not last long, when it was interrupted by the sound of an argument on the ladder.
Wuqu Xingjun, who had ascended the ladder behind the hall, frowned and listened for a moment, then instructed the nearby trial students to concentrate on the two giant stone tablets, and he himself looked for the sound and went up to the top of the ladder.
Wenqu Xingjun put his hands behind his back and looked down at the sea of clouds beyond the ladder, obviously meaning to stay out of the matter. Several trial students from Longxi County, including Wu Xing and Qin Lan, were confronting several trial students on the first-level ladder next to them.
"The two Star Monarchs have arrived! It's just so good that the two of you are telling these 'Beginners' why they can't go any further. One of the trial trainees seemed to be the leader, and he spoke, this young man had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a slender body, and a rather handsome appearance.
According to the regulations of the Star God Temple, the students participating in the trial must dress uniformly, and do not distinguish between the first awakening Wenqu Xing and Wuqu Xing, and wear the number plate of the trial around their waists for easy identification. Moreover, this uniform style of clothing is similar to that of a dart master, with a short brown bodice, loose breeches, and thin soles and pointed leather shoes, which are made of unknown materials, warm in winter and cool in summer, and do not need to be washed but kept dry, and it is said that they can even pass through the water directly like a duck's back without worrying about rain. As for the area where the Thunderbolt Ladder is located, legend has it that it was blessed by the gods and had never encountered thunder and lightning.
It's just that although these trial students were not accompanied by the Xingjun Lord, they were even more powerful in terms of momentum, especially in a playful tone calling the trial students "the first awakener", but the contempt between the words was overflowing!
"I would like to know who the teacher of several of your students is? Didn't you teach you to salute when you see your seniors?"
"The trial students of the Star Hall of Donghai County of the East China Sea Country have seen the seniors! I have seen the senior sisters!" Those few trial students were "as good as flowing", clasping their fists and saluting, and they were impeccable in etiquette.
The two Xingjun reported to their homes separately and replied with half a salute, and Wenqu Xingjun confessed, "I'll go down and watch them, so as not to have any accidents." And he left, a little out of sight.
Wuqu Xingjun's gaze swept back and forth between the two sides, and he still asked, "Who of you can tell me, what's going on?"
"Didn't Lord Xingjun say before that there would be half an hour of free time so that we could be more familiar with the environment of the ladder?" A Longxi student seemed to be an impatient, and when he saw that his companions wanted to speak and stopped, while the students from the East China Sea Kingdom on the other side looked like this matter had nothing to do with us, he couldn't help but speak: "Wu Xing made a bet with a few of us, saying that we would see who would climb the top ladder first. Qin Lan listened to it and wanted to join. We had just climbed the third or fourth ladder, and these students stopped here and said that when we had had enough, we should go down, saying that we could not go any further. Let's argue with them, this is not the territory of your East China Sea Kingdom, nor is it your family's private house, why don't you let others pass?!"
"That's it, why?!" The students of Longxi responded in unison.
The students led by Donghai Guo looked at Wuqu Xingjun and said unhurriedly: "The senior is here, if the senior says that he can go, please do it yourself!"
Wu Qu Xingjun naturally wouldn't be stumped by a mere student's words, he laughed, stretched out his finger and pointed upward, and said casually: "They are all teenagers, and it is inevitable that they will be young and vigorous." Since this matter started because of the gambling contract, let's stop with the gambling contract! Wu Xing, you can compete with this student to see who will climb the top ladder first. This student, do you dare to take the bet?"
The Donghai Kingdom student showed a knowing expression on his face, smiled indifferently, and responded: "Senior's proposal is wonderful! Why not? Why don't you dare! Yao Qingshu of Haizhou of Donghai County, take this bet!"
"Wu Xing, the white horse of Longxi County, take this bet!" Wu Xing naturally did not have stage fright.
Under the command of Wuqu Xingjun, the students of both sides cleared the field on their own and retreated to the adjacent two-level ladders, leaving space.
The ladder is actually a three-dimensional stele forest, those floating in the sea of clouds at a height of 10,000 feet in the sea of giant stone tablets are dense, even the dog's teeth are intertwined, the shape is like a quaint stone tower made of stone blocks stacked; from a huge stone tablet to the next level of the ladder of the giant stone tablet, there can almost be a variety of choices in multiple directions, front and back, left and right; those giant stone tablets of different sizes themselves are not "immovable like a mountain", but slowly flip forward in a mysterious rhythm, not to mention that the treacherous sea of clouds affects the normal line of sight.
This kind of gambling is actually a great challenge for students who have just learned to walk and want to try to run like the wind.
